Absorbing cerebrospinal fluid Cerebrospinal fluid is continually produced and reabsorbed

Chapter 1, Problem 14

(choose chapter or problem)

Absorbing cerebrospinal fluid Cerebrospinal fluid is continually produced and reabsorbed by the body at a rate that depends on its current volume. A medical researcher finds that absorption occurs at a rate of 0.35 mLymin when the volume of fluid is 150 mL and at a rate of 0.14 mLymin when the volume is 50 mL. (a) Suppose the absorption rate A is a linear function of the volume V. Sketch a graph of AsVd. (b) What is the slope of the graph and what does it represent? (c) What is the A-intercept of the graph and what does it represent?
